The gaudy tinsel and the 155,000 lights of 2004 have given way to a more natural look of Christmas trees decorated with white lilies and pink roses that are replaced as they wilt. Guests at the holiday parties are noticing a different tone to George Bush, too. He has never liked the 26 receptions, the thousands of punishing or limp handshakes, the graceless requests for souvenir cuff links with the presidential seal. But at some of the smaller gatherings this year, Bush has freed himself from the photo line to circulate with an intensity his friends haven't seen before. An adviser who encountered Bush on one of these reconnaissance missions through the Red Room last week tells TIME, "He's listening a little more because he's looking for something new. He's looking for ideas. He wants to hear what people are saying, because something might strike him as worth following up on."Mon, 12 Dec 2005 17:32:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/12/cia.leak.tm/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/12/12/cia.leak.tm/index.htmlReporters like to be the ones asking the questions, but the Valerie Plame leak investigation just hasn't been working that way.
